OH SCT decision: No Right to Concealed Carry

[Andrew P. Morriss]

Title: Re: CSGV issues model law for Assault Weapon ban

Folks,   The Ohio Supreme Court has upheld the state ban on concealed carry against a challenge under the state constitution. The opinion says weapons possession is a fundamental right but that a reasonableness test is nonetheless appropriate and the legislation passes that test. This overturns an excellent lower court opinion that had found the ban unconstitutional.   The opinion is at:   http://www.sconet.state.oh.us/rod/documents/0/2003/2003-ohio-4779.doc     Andy Morriss
